Title: Modern Vampires and Vampire Hunters.
Post by: Steeleye on 21 September 2013, 07:39:33 AM
Okay I'm officially lobbying for a 'Modern Vampire' range.

I'd really like to see, blonde and brunette female 'vampire hunters'. The blonde should be wearing a 'really' short skirt and the brunette 'really' tight jeans.

A brooding vampire, with a high forehead.

An insane female vampire, in a flowing neo-victorian dress.

And of course, a male vampire with bleached blonde hair and a leather duster (that's a coat in case you're not sure coz leather dusters are not that good for picking up the dust).

Other figures I'd like to see would be; Wicca Lesbians, English Librarians, werewolf lead guitarists, cheerleaders and an American Football team.

Mad scientists, 'innocent civilians' and police would also be helpful.

I know its unlikely to happen but there's no harm in asking.

Congratulations on the most eclectic requests.

You do know that the figures come unpainted, so you could make them both redheads?

I'm not fussy about hair colour...as long as the collar and cuffs match.

You'll really have to bully Leon Steeleye.  ;)
Sort of things I'd love to make.....Though 'skin tight' jeans are probably a no-no.
Not from the sculptors' point of view....But for casting at this scale they would be a complete nightmare, I'm afraid.
(The ankles would be so thin that they'd either snap on the table-top.....Or even before that....wouldn't allow the metal to flow through properly and Leon would end up spinning the mould umpteen times to get just one decent casting.)

There are some 'innocent civilians' in the new sci-fi range.....They might be of some interest to you though.
Hope that helps.
Cheers - Phil.

Might sell better as modern martial arts expert?
Then she could be used as Buffy, or other characters?

Very good idea, and as for the 'skin tight jeans' I can live with 'tight jeans'.

The thing is to keep away from  referring to anything to do with BtVS so as not to run fowl of people's lawyers. GZG make a range of 'vampire hunters' that look surprisingly like our favourite teenage vampire slayer and her friends without actually calling them that.

I think I've got some of the 'survivors' from the 're-vamped' (is that some one who's been turned into a vampire twice?) sci-fi range on order.

Over the last few months I've been working on a board game, a sort of 'Creature that Ate Sheboygan' city smasher game. All the 'units' are made up from 10mm figures and vehicles. I have US Regular Army (Vietnam range) US National Guard (WWII US infantry, its set in the sixties) Police and civilians were a bit hard to find but I managed it. I've got giant robots, demons, giant ants, a huge worm, a dragon and not so giant robots. I'm working on zombies but what I'd love to do is a Vampire scenario...anytime over the next five years will do!

Might need to get busy with the green stuff: how are your sculpting skills?

I' m in for the police. I think a pair of the new zombies could be nosferatu stile vampire with right paint work.

Modern police please, UK or US I don't mind which! Biker gang members wouldn't go amiss too!

Darn! Knew I'd forgotten something...biker gangs, YEAH!

I shall look at my zombies...hold on...hmmm, guy in the hoody, guy running and guy with right arm up by his face might well do for vamps.

Don't count on it. Someone's running on hormones, not logic. ;)

Ooh, and these...


Fatty Zombies (as Zombie rules seem to like to distinguish this type from other zombies).
